Design Hotels for Valentine’s Day Weekend

Trying to plan the perfect Valentine’s Day? Many people focus on flowers, chocolates, and sparkling wine. But you’ll have a much more memorable holiday weekend if you escape to a design hotel instead. Here are two stunning places to stay this weekend, one to visit this spring, and another to put on your wish list for next year.

Sonora Island: Wait until after the holiday, and then cruise through the Discovery Islands, fly fish for trout, see animals in their natural habitat, and stay at an eco-adventure resort outside of Vancouver this spring.
